Bases: _Engine['Dataset']
Cell-geometry operations on a Dataset.
Owns the real implementations of get_cell_coords, the private cell-geometry
cores _cell_polygons / _cell_points (public entry point:
Dataset.to_geodataframe), map_to_array_coordinates, and
array_to_map_coordinates. Dataset exposes a same-named facade for the public
methods, so ds.get_cell_coords(...) and ds.cell.get_cell_coords(...) are
equivalent.

cell_area(unit='m2')
#
The ground area each cell covers, honouring the raster's own CRS.
cell_size answers in the CRS's units, which for a geographic raster
are degrees -- and a degree of longitude is 111 km at the equator and
19 km at 80 degrees north. Anything asking "how much ground is this"
therefore cannot use it, and to_geodataframe(geometry="polygon",
values=False).area does not help either: those polygons are in the same
degrees, so every cell on the
grid reports the identical area.
Two cases, decided by the CRS:
- projected -- the cell is a parallelogram in a linear unit, so its
area is the absolute determinant of the geotransform's linear part,
|dx*dy - rx*ry|, converted from the CRS's own linear unit. Constant across the raster, rotation included. - geographic -- the area is integrated in closed form over the CRS's own ellipsoid, not taken on a sphere of an assumed radius and not approximated by a geodesic polygon. A cell is bounded by parallels, which are not geodesics, so a geodesic routine bows its north and south edges poleward and biases every partial domain. Every cell in a row shares a latitude band and therefore an area, so the whole raster costs one vectorised pass over the row edges.

Examples:
- A projected raster has one area for every cell, straight from the
geotransform:

map_to_array_coordinates(points)
#
Convert coordinates of points to array indices.
- map_to_array_coordinates locates a point with real coordinates (x, y) or (lon, lat) on the array by finding the cell indices (row, column) of the nearest cell in the raster.
- The point coordinate system of the raster has to be projected to be able to calculate the distance.

Notes
The conversion is affine-exact: it applies the full geotransform (per-axis pixel sizes and the rotation terms), so it is correct on non-square and rotated grids rather than assuming square pixels.
